Yes, you may have to show some ID.
If your son is a minor, he should endorse the checks or you should (since you're his parent, you can do this).

Your son would have to endorse the check over to you, and you would have to have an account at the bank where you are going to try and cash it.
If your son is a minor, you probably will need some kind of proof that you're his parent.
I always find it's good to make my deposits at the bank, rather than the ATM, with the same teller. That way I've got someone there who can help me out in situations like this.

A lot of the check into cash type places will cash it for you. If you wrote the check in the first place, just void it out. Then you don't have to worry about getting it cashed. If it's an agency that helps pay your rent, then you need to take it back to them and have them make a check out to you and explain to them that the landlord won't accept it. Thats about all you can do, unless like I said before you can find a check cashing/payroll advance place to cash it.

If your son is a minor you will need to endorse the check for him as his guardian over to you and then negotiate the check into your account. Probably not the best way to go hower. As this is his money it is probably best to set up an account in his name and of course you would be the authorized signer on the account as his guardian. You can set it up as an UTMA (uniform trust for minors account) but be aware that any money put into that type of account is an irrevocable gift to your son. This does not mean you cannot withdraw the money in the future by you would be legally bound to use the funds for his benefit. As his guardian you have a lot of discretion as to what to use the funds for...even money used for housing expenses etc. could be seen as for his benefit but just be aware of the legal requirement. Deposit the funds into his account and then withdraw the funds for his use out of his account.
